AjaxChat

Description

Provides a simple chat system integrated into your blog. It adds a bar with a height of 20 pixels
across the bottom of the browser’s viewport. The div for the bar is position:fixed. This means that older browsers,
Internet Explorer 6, for instance, may not display the bar at all. I may create a work-around for IE6 in the future.
This plug-in is in the early stages of development (as of 2010-06-01). Any ideas/suggestions/bugs can be submitted to me

FAQ

The bottom bar doesn’t show up at all!

I’ve run into this problem with people using themes that don’t properly call wp_footer(); in their footer.php
Please ensure you have this line in footer.php in your wp-content/themes/whatever/footer.php file:

The bottom bar shows up, but I click on the Chat button and nothing happens.

This is usually some sort of JavaScript error, ensure your theme has <?php wp_head(); ?> in it’s wp-content/themes/whatever/header.php` file.

Is Internet Explorer 6 Supported?

No.

Such & such doesn’t work

It complains that it can’t find wp-config.php

AjaxChat searches for your wp-config.php by looking three directories up. So, if you put AjaxChat in /var/www/wp/wp-content/plugins/ajaxchat, it will look in /var/www/wp for wp-config.php. If it’s not finding it try to put ajaxchat under wp-content/plugins/ or change any references to wp-config.php by hand.
